What this help covers

This help may concern small limited interior areas: wall, door, frame, skirting board, corner, simple handle, light shelf, decorative element, cover, doorstop, rubbing mark, small non-dangerous chip or hole left by a light hook. DomusHelp can help identify the visible defect, check whether the repair is truly simple, prepare a request to a small repair service, distinguish a light touch-up from a specialized repair, protect the surrounding area, organize basic materials or refer the request to a painter, plasterer, carpenter, property manager, owner or qualified company when the issue concerns humidity, a crack, a fragile surface, a shared area, a rental handover, an insurance claim or a technical risk.

Preferred providers

Before the intervention

• Identify precisely the area concerned: wall, door, frame, skirting board, corner, floor, fixed furniture, shelf, cover or decorative element.
• Clarify the real purpose: visual comfort, restoration, preparation before a craftsperson, rental handover, safety, light repair or simple observation.
• Observe the material: paint, plaster, wood, laminate, tile, metal, plastic, fragile surface or old substrate.
• Check the agreement of the person concerned and, if necessary, that of the owner, property manager, condominium or competent service.
• Identify signs of a more serious problem: humidity, mould, crack, active stain, crumbling substrate, unusual smell or water damage.
• Do not conceal significant damage, infiltration, a developing crack, mould or a situation that should be reported.
• Check that no socket, cable, line, pipe, heating, ventilation or technical element is located in the intervention area.
• Limit the intervention to a clearly defined small surface, without complete renovation, lasting transformation or unauthorized modification.
• Use only suitable, clean, non-dangerous products compatible with the space, ventilation, animals, children and vulnerable people.
• Avoid sanding, scraping, dust, solvents, strong glues or odorous products if safety, ventilation or material are not clear.
• Protect the floor, furniture, textiles, documents, valuables and necessary passages before any practical task.
• Do not work at height, on an unstable ladder, on stairs, behind heavy furniture or in a poorly ventilated space.
• Prepare a simple record if useful: area concerned, request formulated, agreement received, anomaly identified, photo with consent and desired next step.
• Refuse any intervention if the cause of the damage, safety, authorization, material or decision-making capacity are not clear.
